I've been trying to make 'happy accidents' occur in digital painting, in the way they do with natural media paintings.  It helps to not be completely familiar with al the tools and to just keep on adding new layers, locking them and adding masks, changing the layer order and mode every now and again to see what happens. The more I use the tools, the more mistakes are made in these doodles, then it's a case of seeing what there is and taking away what doesn't work. camping in the rain around the garden doodle 5 beginnings  camping weather

Doodle 2 A few pieces from the summer, I've really been enjoying getting to grips with digital painting.  I like being able to start a new one as soon as I get 'bogged down' with the old one and work on several all at once, switching easily between them.  I also love being able to reduce the size of the canvas to check the composition, the equivalent of standing back in the room to see it from a distance.
